Silence...
A chilling one at that...
It took a while for Hunter to regain his bearings.
"Could... could you repeat that?"
Cain shook his head, "It's not a joke. Most likely than not, we'll have to sail through an ocean of Dead Spots. Or, perhaps a rather massive one, if we want to reach the City."
A look of rage surfaced on Hunter's face,
"Fuck! Freaking bullshit!"
Cain gave him a few moments to calm down before continuing,
"Right now, we'll have to slow the ship down, but that's only delaying the inevitable."
Hunter gritted his teeth, "Both you and I know that what you just suggested is nothing more than suicide. Not only that, but we will also be draggimg all these people down to the grave with us."
Cain fell silent.
He had considered this as well. If they failed, then the burden of all the lives lost in the process would fall upon their heads.
